After playing just one Liiga game in Finland, d-man and first-round 2026 draft pick (29th overall) Juho Piiparinen is returning to North America to compete at the Vegas Golden Knights’ training camp. Provided he does not earn a roster spot with the Golden Knights, his future destination remains uncertain. The OHL’s London Knights own his major junior rights as a result of his 2026 selection at the CHL Import Draft, and other potential landing spots include the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights or a return to his Finnish professional squad (Tappara).
